        			&quot;This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on autoload. Winslow&apos;s stripped-down prose is a revelation&quot; (Stephen King)&quot;Rejoice - Don is back on the drugs ... Winslow has few equals&quot; (Independent)&quot;Winslow on rip-roaring form, his most stylish, pacy and blood-soaked novel yet ... A brilliantly clever game of cat and mouse ... Vibrant, stylish and captivating ... A true thriller&quot; (Henry Sutton Mirror)&quot;Savages is a wild ride...The language is limber and lean, the pace adrenalin-fuelled and the killers downright terrifying ... Will linger with you long after the final page&quot; (Time Out)&quot;A frighteningly convincing depiction of big-time drug cartels at work&quot; (John Harvey)

        			&apos;A spellbinding tour-de-force that is utterly impossible to put down. Savages is, bar none, the best novel I have read in years&apos; - Christopher Reich, author of Rules of DeceptionPart-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run a Laguna Beach-based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from their loyal clientele. In the past when their turf was challenged, Chon took care of eliminating the threat. But now they may have come up against something that they can&apos;t handle-the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, sending them the message that a &quot;no&quot; is unacceptable. When they refuse to back down, the cartel escalates its threat, kidnapping Ophelia, the boys&apos; playmate and confidante. O&apos;s abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate readers eager to learn the costs of freedom and the price of one amazing high. Savages is an ingenious combination of adrenaline-fuelled suspense and true-crime reportage by a master thriller writer at the very top of his game.&apos;Savages is Don Winslow&apos;s best book yet - a wickedly funny and smart novel, with a ripped-from-the-headlines story that gets your pulse racing as the action unfolds. Razor-sharp plot twists, a cast of ruthless antiheroes, and of course, Winslow&apos;s superb, adrenaline-fuelled prose make this scorching, drug-infused thriller an addictive and entertaining read.&apos; Janet Evanovich&apos;Savages is Winslow on rip-roaring form, his most stylish, pacy and blood-soaked novel yet...A brilliantly clever game of cat and mouse... more vibrant, stylish and captivating then just about anything that comes from our dark, damp shores. A true thriller.&apos; Mirror

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Change of Pace and Style
  

*by L***E on 29 October 2012*









  
  
    Don Winslow has a varied body of work behind him, a unique voice that manages to communicate complex ideas and exposition in a smooth, clear voice one moment then deliver hard and emotional setpieces the next. He can be meditative and thoughtful about the criminals and damaged protagonists that populate the worlds he create.Savages is a distillation of all that and all the better for it.With younger protagonists and terse pacing, Winslow makes Savages into a smooth and intense read, laced with a laconic humour and a slightly ironic, campy pace that makes the inevitable scenes of violence all the more visceral.  It also follows the basic premise of all great writing - no one is an idiot, or to be precise, no one is an idiot for the purposes of narrative.The nihilism is followed through to the logical conclusion that surprised me with it's tenderness and poetry.  I have long believed that crime fiction contains some of the most insightful and beautiful writing beneath it's gruff exterior and Don Winslow is clearly an exponent of that.

    Well worth a read
  

*by R***R on 16 October 2013*









  
  
    Life-long buddies, war veteran Chon and hippy environmentalist Ben produce the best marijuana in California in a series of grow houses and have a readymade market for their product. Along with their intimate female friend Ophelia, known as `O' for short, they live exactly the life they wish to lead. All goes well until the Mexican Baja Cartel wants to have control over their business. When the boys try to walk away, O is kidnapped and will be killed, unless they play to the rules of the Baja Cartel. Both Chon and Ben will do anything to get O released. There then follows an action packed fast moving on the edge of your seat story that is hard to put down. What more can I say, if you like gritty thrillers, written by gifted crime writers, this book is well worth a read.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good, not great.
  

*by P***L on 21 July 2019*









  
  
    Innovative prose. Single paragraph chapters. Chapters written like a film script. It Kinda worked at times, but on balance I'm glad Don did not write his other masterpieces (The Force etc) like this. Slight misstep. This is a long way short of a masterpiece. Three stars nonetheless.
